Thanks for the kind words regarding the self-healing logic!

To answer your question about v6/Phi-2: It uses a session-based RAM residency approach rather than a background daemon or per-request loading.

When you toggle the offline mode (or if it starts in that mode), the OfflineModelManager class loads the weights into memory once. Since the shell runs in a continuous while True loop, the model stays 'hot' in RAM for the duration of that session.

This eliminates the cold-start latency for every error correction, making the 'self-healing' feel instantaneous. The trade-off is, of course, the sustained RAM usage while the shell is open, but I found this preferable to waiting 10+ seconds for a re-load on every command failure.

That makes total sense. In a shell environment, breaking the flow for 10+ seconds would definitely be more painful than the memory overhead. The 'instant' feel is crucial for UX here. Thanks for the detailed explanation!

Thanks, glad it resonates. For interactive tools like shells, I think perceived latency matters more than raw resource efficiency. Once the flow breaks, UX is already lost — a few extra MBs are a small price for that instant feel.
